Neutronic characteristics and feasibility analysis of micro-heterogeneous duplex ThO2-UO2 fuel pin in PWR

•Neutronic behavior of duplex fuel using in PWR has been analyzed.•Duplex fuel has great potential in terms of extending burnup and reducing waste.•Better volume ratio of moderator to fuel of duplex fuel has been found. The shortage of natural uranium resources, nuclear waste disposal and nuclear pr...
